GT. BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - SUNDAY 6PM - Sportsnet / 1050

[everdiso]

The Raptors stacked a bunch of wins against teams not playing their best players. I can't remember the last time they beat a quality playoff team that was at full strength.

We literally just beat the Bucks last week. They were fully healthy aside from Jrue, but we were also missing both GTJ and Scottie. The other win against the Bucks without Giannis was also good.

Cleveland has beat Brooklyn without KD, Utah without Gobert (and Whiteside and Gay), Portland without Lillard and McCollum, Indiana without Brogdon and LeVert (and Duarte and Lamb), OKC twice, San Antonio and Sacramento lately. Does their 8-3 record this month not count? How is that any different than what we've done in this last 12 games? Why do all of our wins against teams get thrown out of the window regardless of who is available?

The Bucks did not have Holiday. I said I can't remember the last time they beat a quality playoff team at full strength. I imagine that is because they most likely have not done so all season.

Have we even played one game against a "quality playoff team" where both teams had all of their starters in the lineup?

[Zeno]

Way too much confidence on raps realgm equals an L. Someone let Nurse and the boys know there is nothing they can do.

And how many games have we played at full strength?

Nurse: pfft. Nothing we can do my a**. Have they heard of a 6 man ‘rotation’

[Mikistan]

Tough to get exciting when you know the dire state of the opposition.

They say luck is a skill too.

Gotta be good to be lucky

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance

Everybody’s playing for the play in
Everybody wants no lottery chance

Fair point. Not many.

Gonna take a wild guess and say Flynn plays tonight

I hope he never sees the floor again.

Maybe he can go and play for the team that his Dad coaches.

Assured playing time...

Nurse saving the 5-man rotation for the play-in

I think some of the hate Flynn is getting because of his dad's comments are unfair. His dad might be outspoken and have no filter, but that doesn't mean we have to want the kid to fail or be done with him. I'm still hoping he can become a serviceable backup guard, but his confidence is just terrible right now. He has the necessary tools but he's not using them when given the opportunity. It's disappointing

Not many teams in the NBA have played many games at full strength this year. Injuries and protocols have hammered many teams this year.

All kinds of fake wins and fake losses. Apparently the entire NBA is fake.

Agreed it looks like a confidence issue. Even william lou said he sees him make and swish his jumpers in shootarounds and practice. But in game looks like everything is forced and he's missing rather badly. Hope he can turn it around was super high on him last year.

What does he actually do on the floor that is an NBA level skill?

Let's be honest, he played well enough to be a ROTM last year. That at least showed he had NBA level skill. Problem is, outside that month there has been little else shown.

I think Banton appears this game after some dominant 905 time.
